Error description

  • A number of occurrences in the current plan have a mainframe
    operation that has several FTA non-centralized operations
    as successors.  When the mainframe operation is set to NP
    FTA operations all become stuck in SU status and the work
    directory ( WRKDIR ) must be rebuilt and then a REPLAN run
    to correct the problem.  This occurs even if the FTA
    operations are set to NP first.  If however the mainframe
    operation is changed to a non-executable (NOEX) workstation
    the problem does not occur.
    When the problem occurs message EQQPT76W and EQQPT35E are
    seen in the E2E server task EQQMLOG .
    The text of the EQQPT76W message is similar to this:
    EQQPT76W Cannot delete dependency
    "OPCMASTER#aaaaaaa_aaaaaaaa((hhmm
    mm/dd/yy),(GLOBAL)).SPECIAL_RESOURCES" ->
    "OPCMASTER#bbbbbbbb-bbbbb((hhmm
    mm/dd/yy),(tttttttttttttttt)).J_nnn_bbbbbbbb-bbbbb because
    Symphony is not yet updated; waiting and retrying.
    

Local fix

  • Change the mainframe operation that has FTA successors to
    have a non-executable workstatioon instead of setting it to NP
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All TWS and IWS for z/OS users running E2E.  *
    *                 FUNCTION=E2E                                 *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: FTA operations, successors of a z/OS    *
    *                      operation, remain in SU status if the   *
    *                      z/OS operation is NOPped.               *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    If an occurrence in the current plan has a mainframe
    operation that has several FTA non-centralized operations
    as successors, when the mainframe operation is NOPped, the
    FTA operations become stuck in SU status.
    The messages EQQPT76W and EQQPT35E are incorrectly issued
    in the E2E Sterver task MLOG.
    

Problem conclusion

  • When the z/OS operation is NOPped a wrong code path in
    successor FTA status handling is selected, trying to delete a
    Special Resource. A check has been added to prevent the error.
    The same error for the FTA operations might also occur if
    the predecessor z/OS operation is manually completed,
    instead of being NOPped.
